Question

Which of the following occurs in the citric acid cycle?

A) Electron carriers will get reduced

B) Oxygen is converted into water

C) Coenzyme A gets broken down to make NADH, FADH2, and a small amount of ATP

D) Energy from Acetyl is used to make recuding power in the cytosol

E) The three carbons of pyruvate gets released as CO2

Answer 1

c)Coenzyme A gets broken down to make NADH,FADH2,and a small amont of ATP.

Description/Reason

The acid cycle is a central driver of metabolic process. It takes acetyl CoA—produced by the chemical reaction of pyruvate and derived initially from glucose, as its beginning material and, in a very series of chemical reaction reactions, harvests a lot of its bond energy within the form of NADH, FADH2 a pair of and ATP molecules. The reduced electron carriers NADH, FADH2
generated within the TCA cycle can pass their electron into the electron transport chain and, through an organic process of oxidative phosphorylation , can produce most of the Adenosine triphosphate created in the metabolic process.
